AUSTIN — A taxi carrying
State Comptroller Bob Bullock
was stopped by several police cars
this week because of a report the
cab’s passenger was armed and
had taken a hostage.
Acting on an anonymous phone
call, police stopped the cab Tues
day just off Interstate 35, but were
not aware Bullock was the passen
ger. No gun or hostage was found
in the cab and Bullock agreed to go
to the station for questioning.
He was not arrested.
According to the Travis County
Sheriffs office, the anonymous
caller said a man with a gun was at
the address of Allen Henry Burns,
an enforcement officer with Bul
lock’s office.
Bums was suspended by Bul
lock Tuesday because of his arrest
in Bastrop County on charges of
possessing a controlled substance
believed to be hashish and also
possession of marijuana.
Officers arriving at Burn’s resi
dence found no signs of a disturb
ance, but determined that a man
had left the area and was headed
for the Quorum Club, a bar popu
lar with state officials.

the incident said Bullock
appeared to have been drinking
but was not drunk. Hinkle said he
asked Bullock if he was armed and
Bullock challenged him to “pro

Hinkle said Bullock told police
that he was upset with Bums, who
apparently is a friend of the com
ptroller’s son.
In a statement, Bullock said that
he went to Burns’ home, adding
that what occurred “is really no
body’s business but mine.”
However, he said: “But since

Oswald grave ruling
expected in two wee]
United Press International
FORT WORTH — Attorneys
for a British author told an appeals
court Thursday serious questions
have been raised about the identi
ty of a body in Lee Harvey
Oswald’s grave and that Oswald’s
brother had no right to block an
exhumation because he might not
even be related to the deceased.
“Mr. Michael Eddowes has
raised clear and concise questions
as to the identity of the body
there,” Attorney Cue Lipscomb
said.
Two of the three justices of the
Court of Civil Appeals sharply
questioned attorneys for Robert
Oswald and also expressed doubts
about the sweeping scope of a low
er court order forbidding
Eddowes to engage in activities
that could lead to an exhumation.
The packed hearing lasted for
45 minutes and attorneys said they
expected a ruling probably within
two weeks, although some attor
neys said the ruling could be up to
two months away.
After the hearing Eddowes said
if the appeals court allowed him to
open the grave in Rose Hill Burial
Park, he would expect to find no
thing. ” If a body was in the grave,
Eddowes said: “From the tips of
his fingers to the crown of his
head, the hard documentary evi
dence I have pursued for 18 years
is that the alleged assassin was not
Oswald. Therefore, Robert
Oswald has no business being be
fore this court.”
Eddowes said he was sympathe
tic to a lawsuit seeking an exhuma
tion filed by Oswald’s widow,
Marina Oswald Porter, against
Robert Oswald. Eddowes said,
however, the lower court order he
was appealing kept him from help
ing Porter open the grave and he
said he understood she had legal
reasons for withdrawing her con
sent from his efforts to exhume the
body.
“The man who shot President
John F. Kennedy, in my view, was
a Soviet citizen sent here by (for
mer Soviet Premer Nikita)
Jim A
Khrushchev to assassinate Ken
nedy,” Eddowes said.
During the hearing Eddowes’
attorneys reviewed the case and
said the testimony and law gave
Oswald’s widow “a superior right
to control the remains of her de
ceased husband.” They also
argued that the lower court’s tem
porary injunction against
Eddowes was overly broad, pro
hibiting lawful conduct such as
fredom of speech and the press
and due process of law.
Justice Joe Spurlock agreed
with the argument saying the
order “enjoins all persons — the
media and even persons not
named in the lawsuit —” from
seeking an exhumation.
Reacting to Spurlock’s critic
ism, attorneys for Robert Oswald
indicated they would agree to a
more narrow order hut would con
tinue efforts to keep the grave
from being opened because
